The original company blog announcement (the canonical &quot;Our Incredible Journey&quot;) is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wunderlist.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;join-us-on-our-new-journey&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wunderlist.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;join-us-on-our-new-journey&#x2F;</a><p>Wunderlist has been absolutely awful for me the last 6 months or so. It crashes <i>all the time</i> on opening, and the syncing is so bad that sometimes items will disappear from a list immediately after I add them, then reappear a while later, <i>on a single device</i>.<p>This is on an iPhone 6s; I&#x27;m not sure if it&#x27;s always been this bad and I just didn&#x27;t notice early on, or if something changed. The only thing keeping me on it is the fact that my wife is familiar with it too and we share a few grocery lists, which is extremely handy.<p>What&#x27;s with the video paired with the announcement? [1] It doesn&#x27;t make any sense without the &quot;moving&quot; metaphor from the post, and even with it it&#x27;s really strange.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BOvU5iqjsBQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BOvU5iqjsBQ</a>

Even though I knew this day was coming, it&#x27;s still a bummer. Wunderlist hasn&#x27;t been updated in ages and didn&#x27;t need to. It was functional and stable enough to get out of your own way. It&#x27;s clean, concise and not overly complicated.<p>I still haven&#x27;t found a good alternative to switch to. Microsoft&#x27;s Todo app is garbage and I don&#x27;t care to deal with that ecosystem just for a Todo app either. Can&#x27;t they just open source the entire thing so we can just self host it?

Wow this is disappointing. I still use wunderlist for collaborative sharing of todos. It has not received major updates in forever but honestly it doesn’t need it. Still fully functional. It will be a sad day when it’s shut down.
